Contiweb has signed a sales agreement with imPRESSions Worldwide, a supplier of presses, enhancements and services to the newspaper, commercial and packaging market, to become its sales partner in the Western U.S. and Canada.

Contiweb will use the upcoming Converters Expo South and Converters Expo events to demonstrate how packaging print providers and convertors can secure production efficiencies and enhance their competitive edge using its hybrid web offset system, the Contiweb Thallo

Contiweb has appointed Chuck Irons as vice president for the Americas, effective immediately.

Contiweb is now officially operating as an independent company. The announcement comes on the heels of Goss International’s merger with manroland web systems. Contiweb was previously a Goss subsidiary.

Goss International’s printing press division and manroland web systems, both manufacturers and service providers of web offset printing systems, plan to combine. 

Contiweb has expanded its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales team as part of its strategy to diversify and expand from the heat-set web-offset market into digital inkjet and packaging and label segments.

Contiweb and DG press ServiceS will showcase the Contiweb Thallo adaptable web offset press system for flexible labels and packaging at Labelexpo Europe from September 25-28 in Brussels. 

The event is open to all packaging and label print companies interested in purchasing web offset products or learning new ways to maximize productivity in a range of packaging applications.
